Snap-on "S" Box

I work for Snap-on Tools and decided to make a bandsaw box out of the letter “S” in our logo. The bottom wrench shaped drawer was the most difficult part. I had a problem when it was done because the “S” is italicized and the box tended to tip over! That is why I had to add the walnut base. The box itself is made out of Jatoba and finished with Tung oil and paste wax.

Larry – very astute observation! I debated that drawer for many hours and ended up cutting the “tongue” out of the body of the box along with the wrench drawer. I then cut the tongue out of the drawer and glued it back into the body. By using a fine saw blade the line is almost invisible. The box was much too thick to make this cut with a scroll saw. You guys and gals won’t tell anyone I cheated – will you?

Thanks for the nice comments. I was asked by some people here at Snap-on to make them in bulk for retirement gifts but I said they would have to be around $300 each because of the time involved in each one. They changed their mind. Ray
